Subterranea

Beyond imagination, born of blood and fire In splendid isolation, I have lived Corrupted and conspiring All I wanted, all I was living for An end to all the silent sweet revenge And nothing more No longer God's Apollo, no more Mercury Down among the unbelievers Fuck the wild and wasted, look at me Got pills to sleep, got pills to get awake Eternally I ray no-one my breath will take The honesty is gone now There is no other way in this state of mine The resolutions halted The innocence betrayed by your hand All I can do is keep uncertain company I get this murderous intention With a tendency to fly How can I hold on? If I'm not living who am I? He knows that I'm about him He feels me in his skin, I follow him in again Confidence is shaken, his conscience is unclear One of us promised more I know you lie with me, breathtaker To dream my dreams You steal them for the maker of rain Get out of my subterranean heart and I'm alive Asylum is everything and it's mine Are you made of stone? And are you there at all or here in my head? Anyone with half a brain would do the same I know your name

The shadows fill the corners across the square They come a-crawling to offer shelter, to haul me in Without a needlepoint in the light And the steel to still your tongue The night hides a multitude of uncovered sins The heart beating in Capricorn, I take on a guise They won't define me anytime in the English rain Will I feel an automatic release from all this pain? With no movement, undiscovered, I lie in wait So what if you're sentimental And I'm out of tears, out of sympathy? I'll make it look accidental And I'll leave no sign to say your life was mine No-one I think fell out of my tree No-one I carried just the same Thinner than most sinners and saints alive Dare you speak my name? So what if you're temperamental And I'm out of tears, out of sympathy? So what if I'm elemental?

All my life I'm governed and controlled At someone's beck and call Made to walk a balanced line Before I've even crawled All the time I hungered for release On independence day Without a contact or a name I waited anyway Torn apart and written in the starts More I cannot see Blind enough to follow through Unsupervised devotion Forever I was losing sight, sound escaping And all the world was tuning upside down For every move I tried to make when I was stranded At least I'm standing on unsolid ground All my live I'm governed and controlled At someone's beck and call Maybe there's no genius In having lived at all All my life I'm taken by surprise I'm someone's waste of time Now I walk a balanced line And step into tomorrow Forever I was losing sight, sound escaping And all the world was tuning upside down For every move I tried to make when I was stranded At least I'm standing on unsolid ground

Wakes up forgotten, makes up his mind Sets out to question if he's one of a kind On and on, want to feel somehow Somewhere in time You'll see it all the way that I do now Gives in to impulse, reaches in between Gets back a notion, still remembers a dream Gone again and I don't know how Some other time You're going to look like I do now Sprawls across the walkways, recalls another place Finds the faces hidden, no names upon a stone Raises up a fever, he rails against the skies Careless what he wishes for And what he's always known On and on, want to feel somehow Somewhere in time You'll see it all the way that I do now In and out of daylight, hung on for dearest life Stumbles on misguided, is rousing from a sleep On the street civilians display a common band Roaring like a cry from Heaven seven thunders deep Gone again and I don't know how Some other time You're going to look like I do now So many held in firm array, each one anonymously files In every kind of every way and every mother's only child And all the time identified, it's hard to take it in at all There must be many more besides Those to watch us while we're sleeping So many here, so many held Aligned and catalogues for good And punching in and punching out The empty voices keep repeating "I don't live on the outside I'm provided for in here now Love us where we stand, lead us through this land We all know the score, that's what living's for"

Wherever the faithless are With any other prey approaching Come hell or come waters high Believe it or surrender nothing In all that is envious He's sworn to continue And he will contain you all No one salvation anymore You're right in the sights He moves on all sides Now as I turn

Divided by loyalty, surrounded by emotion Nobody under here, remembers any mercy at all We stay down Deciding the borderline Maya, did no-one tell you? I couldn't have made you mine 'Cause I feel your pain more than my own All the love gone astray There will be hell to pay this time For those of us born to die There'll be none to testify Time and time again I skin the world, keel it over Spinning on its side, beginning as it ended Through these diamond eyes Maid of Morphine settled in my side Did she intervene? Well, I'm the cleanest that I've been Don't know where I know you from Time and time again I've lived enough in silence It's getting harder now to keep the violence in me Someone I once was, raised upon a gallant rider's knee Mortal memories lost among the unrecalled Set the cross of fire (if I live) These are the only ones (if I've loved) Remember who they are If I look, I see them everywhere Don't know where I know you from Told me, go the way of your heart I'll be waiting for you But wherever you are, you're not inside me now Told me, try to sleep, I will come But I'm still waiting for you And wherever you are, I'm still inside you now I'm never going to cut through without you now If I get ascension or die All the love that was mine denied All the love that you qualified Like a desert I'm open wide There's nowhere for me to hide at all For your love, I can never go back Every one of us is herded and contained Not a single one invited Voices circulate around the musty hall And the kerosene's ignited Through the rising flames that lick against the flesh Incandescent in the crossfire Do my eyes betray the longest night of all Do I see or dream of Maya? But he's got us where he wanted us to be Undivided, under control As the narrow margin finds us face to face As he laughs across the foxhole Nowhere was ever safe enough for all of us No one contender cared about getting out Tied now behind the hungry fire meant for us Scattered like dust and finally free Held together by fear I can't be the same, too much has changed Undeniably real and it's better left unsaid All the love you said was nothing Find a rhinestone not a diamond I never wanted this Left alive and laid to rest Told me I was brighter than most And I believed it all then Through the dangerous times I needed more than cold eyes I want to be alone To dream myself away from darkness and decay As I try to forget it No-one entered into my mind more than Maya Someone she believed I could be is burning in me Now I want to be alone like a stronger man Then I can understand As I try to remember where I know you from Provider, are you inside or am I?
